Goals and DONE dabbling

Friday, January 01, 2010

Happy New Year Everyone! I have to say 2009 was a blessed year, and I look forward to 2010 being even better. Goals and me have not always been the best of friends. Sure, I make them, I read them, sometimes I accomplish them, but committed consistency and I tend to dance in the dark too often. Time for that to change! I am beginning 2010 in full disclosure, total honesty and a willingness to work towards a healthier, fitter, better life.

My fitness rocks. I hike a local mountain three-four times a week no matter the weather. I love to walk/run my neighborhood and I've three sons who love to "workout" with me in the weight room. Admittedly, I cannot hold a candle to their teenage bodies, but I do okay for my 43 years :) I'm not one to focus on weight, but I really, really, really want to be healthy for a long, long, long time!

I find weight and exercise closely linked to finances. We are truly blessed in this department, and I"ve been able to be a Stay at home mom for the past 17 years. I am a freelance writer, so I dabble and get paid occassionally, but overall we're one salary.

My mantra for 2010 is NO EXCUSES. I CAN and WILL move faster on my treks, and bring my health up.

And here is the biggest secret of all....as a writer, I long to be an SPmotivational blogger. I want to be the change I want to see in the world, and I want to make a difference. To that end, I will blog a minimum of once a week and share my life with others.

Hi there, you are off to a good start, by first owning what you do, then by taking action!!

Stay focused & let's take this journey together, WE can do this!!!

Exercise is something that is a constant "work in progress", because I live my life in pain on a daily basis, as I have MS & a host of other medical issues. However, I am just as determined as you to NOT let this slow me down!!!
